Gradually add water, mixing well to form a thick, smooth batter without lumps.

Nota bucătarului: The batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.

Aproximativ 2 min.
- 5
Cover the bowl and let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours, at room temperature.
Aproximativ 30 min.
Nota bucătarului: This resting period allows the semolina to soften and the flavors to meld.

Grease a 20cm (8-inch) round baking pan or an equivalent-sized rectangular pan.
Aproximativ 1 min.

Just before baking, add the baking soda and lemon juice to the batter.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: The lemon juice activates the baking soda, creating air bubbles for a fluffy texture.

Pour the hot tempering mixture evenly over the top of the handvo batter in the baking pan.

Nota bucătarului: Baking time may vary depending on your oven and pan size.
- 16
Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
